Police have launched an investigation after video posted online shows an officer punching a woman on a beach in southern New Jersey.

Wildwood police said on its Facebook page that 20-year-old Emily Weinman of Philadelphia faces multiple charges, including assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.

NJ.com reports video of Saturday’s incident shows an officer clubbing the woman’s head twice as she’s down on the sand. He also flips her over with his arm across her neck. A second police officer grabs her legs to pin her down. Voices are heard yelling “stop resisting,” though it’s unclear who was talking.

At one point, the woman is heard screaming, "You're not allowed to hit me like that!"

According to CBS Philly, the video was captured by witness Alexis Hewitt.

"The next thing we know we hear all this commotion and yelling. I woke up and realized there were officers and everybody running around so I immediately grabbed my phone, it was when I started recording," she said.

The video does not show what led to the confrontation, but Weinman told reporters officers had approached her about underage drinking.

“I had alcohol, it’s Memorial Day weekend and 90 percent of people are underage drinking on the beach, without a doubt. Two cops approach me on a their four-wheelers and ask me and my friend how old we are, we gave them our ages. Then, we got breathalized, and it came back negative. I told them I wasn’t drinking and the alcohol was clearly closed/sealed, which the cops seen,” she wrote on Facebook.

Weinman claimed she cooperated at first, but then refused to give her name when they moved to issue her a citation.

“I asked them don’t they have something better to do as cops than to stop people for underage drinking on the beach, saying to that there’s so much more serious stuff going on… the cop said, ‘I was gonna let you go but now I’ll write you up’ and he asked my name. I did not do anything wrong and anything could’ve been written down on that paper so I wouldn’t give it to him,” Weinman explains.

Authorities say Weinman was drinking underage and refused to provide her ID. She allegedly kicked an officer in the groin before running away. Police say the officer then chased her and tried to subdue her.

Wildwood Police Chief Robert Regalbuto says he finds the video “alarming” but doesn’t want to “rush to any judgment” until the investigation is complete.

Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. tells Philly.com the entire episode was a “shame," but said he would release body camera footage that showed Weinman insulting the officer and spitting at him.

“It wasn’t just that this officer decided to beat her up,” he said. “That wasn’t the case.”
